Found another Plank Owner Seawolf (DAT) 1/27/18

**01** Found and spoke with Brother of Plank Owner Seawolf Larry James Farmer, ADJ3, Gunner?, 4/20/1967 to 4/12/1968. Larry passed away here in Salt Lake City, UT on 27 May 1999, age 52.

I had no information on Larry as a Door Gunner, but Larry had told his Brother he was?

Of 2,556 confirmed Seawolf names, 246 Navy Seawolves now remaining to be found, which includes 21 Plank Owners.
